a photo of the Long Room in the Old Library at the Trinity College -- shot from a low perspective we see two stories of dark wooden book shelves, on either side of a long hallway, below an arched ceiling. Superimposed is an AO3 summary that reads: Librarwhee! (#OFMDJanuAUry) brackenwife Summary: Ed meets a gorgeous man at a very stuffy event. Who is this guy, and more importantly, can he just absolutely eat him alive?

it's a remix, as part of the first Unhinged Historians Creative Remix Exchange 2023, organized and pulled off flawlessly by @janesane.bsky.social. it inspired some brilliant projects: archiveofourown.org/collections/...

the cover image for a SMAU, with two insane looking gingerbread folk on a pale green background apparently dancing(?) with a string of holiday lights, next to a small stack of festively wrapped gifts, under a lovely wreath at the top, and festive red green ad white garland. the text says: deck the halls again an OFMD holiday mini-smau TO: OFMD Bluesky FROM: JJ & brackenjen

for #TakeTwoTuesday (i keep typing #TakeThatTuesday) i present whakapapa or, The Salamander Prince. it's probably my favorite thing i've ever written, please forgive me if you've already seen this ten thousand times

archiveofourown.org/works/44127513
an AO3 description of the fic whakapapa or, The Salamander Prince by brakenwife, over a picture of the cutest black and yellow fire salamander you've ever seen in your life, staring charmingly at the camera with big black eyes and a tiny little salamander smile. [photo credit: "Fire Salamander at La Quinetière, Buais, Normandy, France" by William Warby] The summary of the fic reads: The Dread Pyrate King Blackbeard stands at the lip of an active volcano, considering all of his options. His new little buddy is interested in offering some input. Fairy tale-type shenanigans ensue.

Snake Eyes (“omg they’re so cool wow” — no one who knows me)

Drop a selfie if you know what’s good for you! (I do, I know, I am so helpful) or a clever riff on the meme if you’re feeling sassy that too is aces in my personal opinion

A cover image for an AO3 fic, "the food is bad but at least the service sucks (no stars)" by brackenwife, StedesLeftShoe(CravatsAndBonnets) The AO3 summary is superimposed over the Yelp log-in screen, location set to Republic of Pirates. The summary reads "Spanish Jackie's is now full service! Jackie is pleased by the turnout. Jackie thinks rule number one, NEVER read the reviews, is bullshit. Jackie needs a massage." Spanish Jackie's is now full service! Jackie is pleased by the turnout. Jackie thinks rule number one, NEVER read the reviews, is bullshit. Jackie needs a massage.
